Some 30 years ago one of my GENUINE STREET bikes (a GPZ1100) DOMINATED one of the early rounds of Superbike magazine series and it was very closely backed up by a customer (Wayne Schrier) on a very similar bike. Both bikes were almost a full second quicker than ALL the US nitrous'd bikes and both bikes were only pushed back to 3rd & 4th places by turbo bikes, that were OUTRIGHT RACE bikes fitted with the the minimal requirements, to comply with the less than stringent street class rules.
This result lead to a large number of sales to other competitors in the class, many of whom went on to win numerous rounds of the championship and win the championship outright, as well as post European record times - Brian Emery being one of the most successful.
UK based tuning shops saw an oportunity to cash in on MY customers results and the lack of appreciation (by the general populace), of the differences between WON systems and US SHIT and in conjunction with main stream peer pressure against those who used WON systems, the sale of US kits eventually caught up with and then exceeded WON sales. Eventually certain people learned how to get 'ACCEPTABLE' results from US kits and they became the established norm.
Eventually BULLSHIT overpowered brains and as a consequence, the majority of main stream UK Drag bike racers were convinced to stick with using US nitrous kits, even when it was BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that WON systems were SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY.
What was so funny about this situation, was that both British and American racers appreciated how unreliable US solenoids were and yet the majority still stuck to using them, rather than WON Pulsoids.
Time passed and eventually a few SMART guys (both here and in the USA), realised there were benefits to replacing generic US SHIT solenoids with Pulsoids and so started the trend back to WON systems.
Whilst the American's eagerly made the switch, the majority of Brits stayed with the US SHIT leaving us in the most ironic situation ever;
Main stream American Drag racers are eagerly making the switch to Pulsoids and REVO's while Brits are still using the US JUNK that American racers themselves reject. Not only that but we're selling more and more bike systems to numerous foreign countries and yet not a single sale to a UK Drag racer.
DO I CARE -
- DO I **** - THEIR LOSS NOT MINE AS MY SALES ARE BOOMING!!!
